Now, replace my ssid="Xploitz Network" with the name of your network....and replace my psk="-=Xploitz=-" with your Passphrase. (There is no reason to put -=Xploitz=- in hexadecimal because wpa supplicant parses it for you. So just put your passphrase in ASCII and all will be well.)

Now save this.

And in the same directory there is a folder called dhcpc. Go to it located in /etc/dhcpcfolder and DELETE EVERYTHING!

***EDIT***
ALSO PLEASE NOTE THAT WHEN YOU CHANGE ENCRYPTIONS OR CONNECT TO A NEW NETWORK, YOU WILL NEED TO DELETE EVERYTHING INSIDE THE /ETC/DHCPC FOLDER AGAIN TO BE ABLE TO CONNECT TO YOUR NEW NETWORK OR NEW NETWORKS NEW ENCRYPTION ***END EDIT***
Next, open a new shell window and type in....

bt ~ #chmod 755 /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

Next, type in....

bt~ # wpa_supplicant -w -Dwext -iath0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

(Please note in the above command my device is -iath0, yours may be wlan0, eth0, eth1..etc. Please change it to match your device; (example>>> -ieth0, or -iwlan0) Now you will see something similar to....

And it will "Hang" here and stay. Why?? Simple. The command above will allow you to see all the "behind the scenes" action of connecting to your network, so you can troubleshoot it if need be. Now, our next command to execute....

Open a new shell and type....

dhcpcd ath0 (or whatever your device is)

Now you should see a "pop-up" somewhere on your screen saying "KDE Network Monitoring...Connection Established!"

Bingo! There ya go.

Also please note that once you get comfortable with my method..you may change....

bt~ # wpa_supplicant -w -Dwext -iath0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

to.....

bt~ # wpa_supplicant -w -Dwext -iath0 -B -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

This added-B option will run the program in the background for the deamon mode, and you'll IMMEDIATELY get an "return command line" ....

bt~ #

so that you can put in dhcpcd ath0 (or whatever device you use like eth0, eth1, wlan0, etc...)

I hope this helps out a lot of people, because I have had SEVERAL PMs requesting how to accomplish this.

Please post your success / failures in this thread, and I will help you if you have any problems.

A special "Thanks" to all of my fans here for their support and eagerness to learn. Just my way of giving back to my love on the internet......remote-=Xploitz=-.org

cant get it workingH

Hi all,

I first off done my handshake, but just to point out that i do not have bt2 installed im working off my hda4 & everything saves there, there was NO files in etc/dhcpc, so I have created my wpa_supplicant.conf file in etc directory
I have then ran the commands as follows

**notice**
I am running this inside the etc directory, as I have tried while in
bt root #
bt hda4 #
& only seems to work when in bt etc #
